What is it you are trying to achieve? As a cool project, I would like to make a turing program which could tell if any process is running. For example, if google chrome was open while i run the Turing program it should say "Google Chrome is open" and if google chrome is not running when I run the Turing program, it should say "Google Chrome is not open" What is the problem you are having? I have no clue if this is even possible to do, and even if it is, I don't know where to start. Please specify what version of Turing you are using v4.1.1 |

Im pretty sure thats NOT possible, I know you can launch outside process but turing seems to be blocked on the reading aspect of them, so to tell if your computer is running a game, steam or chrome etc I don't believe is possible... unless... Someone might of implemented this in the OpenTuring project -> http://tristan.hume.ca/openturing/ -> i would have to read over the documentation to see what exact changes have happened over the 4.1 version, but I would suggest trying a different "Cool" project. |

You could use the built in system function (http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/system.html) and run the tasklist command (https://ss64.com/nt/tasklist.html). If you run it like this:
and read file.txt, you would get the list of processes or a filtered version of the list. |
